A federal judge has agreed to temporarily pause proceedings on a consent decree between Minneapolis and the federal government after attorneys for the U.S. Department of Justice asked to put the case on hold.

Minneapolis leaders have been waiting for a federal judge to sign off on a consent decree that would hold the police department to court-enforced changes. That limbo could be extended even further after a Minnesota assistant U.

The court filing states that the city does not support the motion; however, the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis agrees with the request.
